  • WSL 1

Repro Steps

  1. Cancel the WSL option in the “Enable or disable windows features” panel (not installed before canceling, only checked + reboot)
  2. Open a terminal (with administrator privileges) and run remove-Appxpackage MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_2.1.5.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    ————————————————————————————————————————
    I tried the msixbundle package installation because of the catastrophic failure of the wsl installation error report.

but reported an error The application installation failed with the error message: Deployment of package MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_2.1.5.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe has been prevented because the supplied package has the same identifier as the installed package, but not the same content. Please increase the version number of the package to be installed, or remove the old package for each user on the system and install this package again. (0x80073cfb)

So, I tried to turn off “Windows subsystems for linux” in the “Enable or disable windows features” panel, and it still wouldn't install, with the same error as above.

I tried uninstalling again from the command line and got the error 0x80073CFA.

Expected Behavior

Uninstalled successfully

Actual Behavior

Error “0x80073CFA”.
